However, when I come to try it on Kindle for iOS, it looks AWFUL (both on the iPad and Previewer). Seems that the FLOAT CSS elements aren't supported or something like that.
Anyone know what the deal is there? I'd be surprised if the Kindle for iOS APP is significantly different.

I just downloaded the very latest version of Previewer and my fully compliant file (I know it is as I use all the right tools to check it) makes the previewer hang... not incredibly impressed at the moment.

Previewer has been acting up for a while now, at least the Mac version.
Unfortunately, Amazon does not seem to support all of KF8 in the Kindle for iOS app. They never have as far as I can tell. I've had issues with rounded boarders and embedded fonts, just to name a couple of things that work well with Kindle eInk devices but not so much in the iOS app. Apparently Amazon doesn't send the actual KF8 book file to your iOS device. It sends a file type only used for Kindle iOS app.
ETA: Amazon sends an AZK file to the Kindle for iOS app.
See the MR Wiki on AZK files.
